Secret Weapon (Eustass Kid x Reader : Modern AU)

1. Jewelry Bonney

The first rule about being in prison that you learned the first time you were locked up is that you have to make friends with powerful people. It is never hard for you to tell who those with power are, they carry themselves differently from everyone else.

Currently, you have set your eyes on three women, searching for an opportunity to gain their trust: The Glutton, Jewelry Bonney, The Cat Burglar, Nami, and The Artist, Giolla. You know you cannot just walk up to them, so for the past two days since you've been here, you have been searching for a way in.

You notice a shifty young girl, glancing at Jewelry Bonney. Every afternoon, someone gives her a box and she dismisses all her companions. Then, she likes to sit behind the benches in the courtyard, eating the pizza away from the guards' eyes. Her routine is simple, and as soon as you notice the small knife that the suspicious young woman is carrying, you know now is the time that she will strike.

You watch as the girl carries the knife walking towards Jewelry Bonney. You've been waiting for two days for something to happen and this is your chance. Bonney is just sitting there gouging on pizza not being very mindful of her surroundings and so the girl quickly moves up to her, knife in hand about to make her strike.

You run up and kick the girl down. Bonney looks up, startled, and the box falls to the ground. She looks at you and then at the girl and stamps her foot on the girl's throat.

"I only get one box of pizza a day, and you made me drop it!" She steps harder on her. More of Bonney's friends come over to you, shielding her from the guards. "Who sent you?"

The girl chokes, she can't breathe. "Haritsu...Kendiyo..." she coughs. "Your...boss...killed...him."

"Huh? If your problem's with Kid, why the hell are you coming after me?" She snaps.

"Break it up. Break it up ladies!" says a guard as two of them rush over to you in the courtyard. You kick the box of pizza under the bench.

Bonney raises her hands, as do the others around her, so you do the same.

"Hold your horses, she attacked me." Bonney says. The guard looks around, and you all nod your heads.

They pick up the girl and take her with them.

"What's your name?" Bonney says to you.

"My name is Y/N." You say.

"I could have taken care of that, but I appreciate you saving me." She pauses. "You can sit with me at dinner."

This is good, this is exactly what you want. You won't be here for too long of course, but without uncle Smoker to get you out, you think it might be a little while before Captain Aokiji gets your message. But when he does he'll pull some strings for you and get you out like uncle Smoker always did.

"So what are you in for?" One of Bonney's friends asks you during dinner.

"Theft. My stupid pervert boss Mr Absalom tried to make a move on me and I gave him a black eye. He told his wife that I hit him when he caught me stealing." You tell them.

"Hmm, your boss was an asshole. Is it your first time in here?" Bonney asks. While everyone else is eating a green slugde that is supposed to be rice and peas, she is eating mac and cheese. It looks good and smells even better. How does she get it?

"No, but they've all been misdemeanors so I usually got out with a fine." You say.

"Really? What kind?" She asks munching down her food.

"Mostly reckless driving." You say, looking down at your plate.

"Hmm? You drive drunk or something?"
